Quote from: HurtfulTurkey on February 26, 2015, 10:01:20 AMDo you exercise? Are you on the phone/TV/internet right before bed?I stopped working out a while back, don't really have time for it. I usually try to get off of computers by 11 and take sleeping pills by then, assuming I'm not busy working on schoolwork still. Shit sucks, I took 8 zzzquil pills, 2 melatonin pills, and some other type of sleep aid last night at like 1:30 after finishing up schoolwork, I was still up till 4 in the morning.

Try exercising (yes, you have time, don't use that excuse). Avoid screens and other harsh light an hour before you intend to fall asleep (not the time when you go to bed). Try a nighttime tea. If you're serious about those dosages of sleep aids, you need to cut that off immediately.I really don't, I've been busy with schoolwork every day pretty much, I've been working all week to get a midterm done, several discussion posts done, and I still have to start a 14 page final paper later today due at the end of Sunday after I get all that other shit out of the way. It's been like this for almost 3 weeks now, damn half semester courses try to pack in a full semester of work. I really do want to start working out again though since I've been putting back on a bit of the weight I was losing before starting classes. I've been doing things like drinking herbal teas for sleeping as well, but so far the only thing that has worked has been a cocktail of sleeping pills along with that. I tried the other day to sleep without taking anything, I just ended up laying in the dark for several hours unable to sleep.

Anyone here have difficulty sleeping?
